Exceeded my expectations for a hotpot in Sydney. I have eaten hotpot in China and China chilli hotpot was as authentic as it could be and the good things was they also speak and understand English. The buffet spread is amazing, sauce condiments spread is vast, complementary water and fruits to cut down on the spiciness of the broth is a good idea. Addition of fresh meat balls, prawn and fish balls(fresh) would be a good idea. Hygiene can be improved and some of the ingredients on the buffet could get better like the prawns but overall it was good. Staff are as efficient as they can be even if the restaurant is busy.

Chinese cuisine always holds a special place with me given my stay for a good part of an year in the country. Simple yet tasty food. The experience is unique and always starts with unlimited refills of green tea. It is different from place to place, but always worth trying it. We tried this place close to town hall for lunch and found it enjoyable. The decor and seating takes you right back to any relatable place in China. We tried stir fried string beans with vegetables minus the pork. It was blanched and fried with spices which was really good. Slightly crunchy but well cooked. We had tofu dish which was actually really spicy but well balanced with the lemongrass in it. Might not be liked by everyone as the Sichuan pepper leaves an aftertaste but it is definitely worth the try if you are into spicy food. The oily sauce goes so well with the jasmine rice. We had smoked duck (half) which was good as well. It was a little bland, but the meat was cooked really good. Skin was crispy and salty. Since it is a half portion you would find lot of bones along with it. This is one of the places that I would try for lunch or dinner as long as everyone wouldn’t mind the spicy food.
Hot and spicy Sichuan cooking is always a big hit in the winter months to battle the cold. Spicy Sichuan was an old favourite during my stay at Haymarket. Loved the chicken and prawns with lots of peppercorns!
There is nothing better than hot pot during cold winter night. I visited this restaurant to celebrate my birthday with my friends and had a great time here. The food is great and service is friendly and equally fast. They have vast variety of food to choose from and very flexible with the amount of heat you like for your soup. We got the spiciest soup and everyone was sweating from the heat. Truly enjoyable. I also love the dumplings, dipped it into soup and let it cook for a bit. They taste amazing! The price is worth it and I will come back again.
All you can eat hotpot, can't really go wrong with it! Sauce bar is good, massive selection of items of the menu to choose from and their chicken broth is amazing enough to drink as soup. Couple of months ago this place had terrible service. They seem have finally caught on which is awesome!
Authentic Sichuan food! Have tried a few Sichuan food restaurants in Sydney I’d say this is the best. Btw it will be great to see Spicy Sichuan Restaurant open in London

Wanting something with spice for dinner, we popped into China Chilli which is upstairs and part of Spicy Sichuan. . What we ordered certainly lived up to the restaurants name - it was spicy and hot (chilli hot). To order you use a "touch screen" and to start with for drinks we both chose Coke Zero as we were heading on elsewhere afterwards for a bigger night and wanted to start slowly. As an entree we ordered dumplings - we both love our dumplings and these chicken ones were tasty and they certainly had a hot kick to them.
Can't wait for another cold Winter's night with nothing to do because this is where you'll probably find me! Absolutely adorable Sichuan hotpots with incredible flavours that haven't been replicated anywhere else in Sydney. Price is very reasonable and the portion sizes on each refill are very generous. Try the spicy soup (Medium to hot if you dare), and get a healthy serving of the fish fillet, the dumplings, and whatever else finds your fancy. Best visited in groups of 4 or more and expect to queue for a spot on cold Winter nights.
The Dear Luncher was in Sydney town conducting Dear Luncher business and was staying in the apartment complex right next door to Spicy Sichuan. Ordered for take away were the lamb ribs with spicy sauce. One picture of a chilli appeared next to this menu item. As a result The Dear Luncher was all like "I got this". The spice blew Your Dear Luncher sideways. It was tremendously hot. But The Dear Luncher loves living on the edge (sh1t Aerosmith song), so this was a challenge The Dear Luncher relished. Head sweats galore, even back sweats. It was like a battle, not dinner. But a good battle because The Dear Luncher won.
i am never a fan for spicy food, but this place wow me. dont expect any service in a chinese restaurant, coz you wouldnt get it. but the food is amazing.
Get a fresh live fish to swim in this chilli oil bath, then devour the pair to your greatest satisfaction. It is usually accompanied with rice so you won't feel like you are drinking oil. The ordering device provided is pretty useless, it is just a menu.
This is the most authentic, Chinese (Cantonese) food I have ever had in my life. Even the 2 Chinese people I was there with were impressed. The flavours, the dishes were truly exotic and each one was splendid.
The service was commendable too. There was an old lady (probably the owner) who was more than kind and courteous in her service and demeanour. Very sweet and gentle with her serving and explaining of the dishes and how to eat them.
Service was quick and the food was delicious. Presentation was flawless and it is the only restaurant that I have ever been to where the food looked exactly like it did in the pictures on the menu.
Definitely going back for more! :D
Staff don't seem to speak English? (Or they just ignored me as Chinese is easier). The design of the store is great, the menu has English and Chinese
The food tasted great, it's not too spicy, however the portions are somewhat small for the price. I'd recommend getting rice with the food to help fill you up.
The staff weren't around much, they didn't fill the water until we asked them, they didn't give us time to record the food when they broke the sugar shell.
The wait between the meals was quiet long, it took about 15 minutes for the second meal to arrive and another 15 for the third meal, if we were waiting for everything it would be cold by then.
I would recommend this store, the food was really good

A fabulous restaurant with traditional Sichuan cuisine. Expect awesome flavours and lots of spice / chilli as you would expect. Hot pot and wok fried dishes available. Don’t expect great service.
Upgraded menu. Recently renovated. Much better atmosphere than previous. Tastes great as expected for Sichuan food. Authentic with fusion elements. Worth visiting always.
